Seat Padavan now!

Dear Editor:

After two months of voter recounts by the NY State Board of Elections and due diligence review by our courts, the long time incumbent, Republican Frank Padavan was declared the winner of the 11th Senate District.

Now it has come to our attention that the Democratic majority in the NY State Senate is trying to block the seating of our duly elected Senator. Needless to say, I am appalled that they would stoop so low as to deny the seating of a senior Senator who been declared the winner and who has served his state and community with honor and distinction for 35 years. I am also shocked that politicians from both sides of the aisle have not rallied to support Senator Padavan's as he has often supported their initiatives.

I'm a Democrat and I voted for Padavan, but the last thing I want is a repeat of the Florida catastrophe of 2000. Count every vote - every legit vote! When it's all said and done, I hope Padavan is declared the rightful winner. He's a fine public servant and he deserves to win.

It's also all about Gennaro not having to do any work for his constituents while he continues this outrageous contest. Gennaro campaigns and campaigns. Constituent affairs he knows nothing about.

With the Senate seat now empty, we have no one representing us in the Council or in the State Senate. Put Senator Padavan in his Senate seat. Jim Gennaro needs to finish out his term in the Council. Perhaps he can learn how to address the problems of his constituents.

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
